Dragons represent the primary feature of Dragon Mania Legends and are the very foundation of the game. These inhabit the world of Dragolandia, along with many other human characters, and can be found working alongside or against the Trainer. There are hundreds of species of Dragons in the game, each species having a unique appearance. Almost all Dragons are able to breed with one another to produce more Dragons, battle against other Dragons, or even produce Gold.

Dragons hatch from eggs and then transition from their baby stage to their adult stage upon being fed. Feeding is the only way to strengthen and grow a Dragon. Dragons do not age past their adult form, only increase up to a maximum level through feeding, thus Dragons are immortal. At Level 4, the young Dragon assumes its adult form and can then breed, train, improve its skills at the Dragon Academy and participate in various battles in the game.

The only way for Trainer to get rid of their own Dragons is to sell or ascent them. Chronos and Clan Dragons are the only unsellable Dragons in the game.

There are several ways to obtain Dragons. Theoretically, any Dragon can be made available as part of a limited or permanent bundle in the Main Shop, turning this method into the fastest one in the game.

Aside from possible bundles or deals, the most common way to obtain Dragons is through breeding for them in the Breeding Den, the only place where Dragons can mate with one another. They can also be bought from the various shops in the game, such as the Main Shop or Dungeon Shop, using a specific currency. There are several Base Dragons in the game, each embodying a different Element, which can be purchased with Gold from the Main Shop when the user reaches a certain level. These are the only ones that can be purchased in exchange for this currency.

Once a Dragon egg is obtained, regardless of the method, it must then be incubated in the Hatchery until hatched. The only Dragon that does not come from an egg is Chronos, a Dragon that possesses no Elements or rarity and is obtained through a unique method. Eggs that that do not come from breeding will be found in the inventory under the tab and can be sent to be incubated from there. After hatching the Dragon, it will need to be placed in a fitting Habitat or in the Dragon Vault. The Book of Dragons keeps track of all the Dragons in the Trainer's possession, as well as in the entirety of Dragolandia, except Clan Dragons and Chronos.

Dragons obtained through Enchanted Breeding are unbuyable, even if they are present on the Trainer's islands. With very few exceptions, Divine Dragons are also unbuyable. Lastly, Chronos is unbuyable, as well, and can only be obtained once by finding various shards of Chronosian Seals while exploring ruins.

A Trainer is considered to have duplicates of a Dragon if two or more of the same species are present, at the same time, in a Habitat on any of the Trainer's islands or in the Dragon Vault. In extremely rare cases, usually during large-scale events, duplicate Dragons in the inventory can be taken into consideration as such.

Dragons that can be purchased as duplicates will usually be buyable in exchange for Gems. Base Dragons are always purchasable in exchange for Gold while Dungeon Dragons are always purchasable in exchange for Dungeon Tokens. There is no limit to how many Dragons of the same species a Trainer can obtain through breeding, as long as that particular Dragon is currently breedable. Additionally, Card Dragons (a type of Dragons that are obtained only in exchange for matching Dragon Pieces) can be obtained as duplicates since there is no limit to how many matching Pieces a Trainer can have for any of those Dragons.

With the exception of Chronos and Clan Dragons, Trainers can have duplicates of the same species of Dragons. The Trainer can also not come into the possession of more than one of the same species of a Boss Dragon, unless that Dragon is made available for purchasing in a bundle, promotion or sale.

Since, for some Dragons, their presence on the islands is necessary to purchase duplicates of them, those obtained through a method other than buying or breeding will most likely never be obtainable again if they are sold.

Almost all Dragons in the game possess certain characteristics known as Elements and rarity. These characteristics determine their breeding and hatching time, as well as battle and Gold-producing attributes known as stats. There are three different stats for Dragons who possess them; Health, Attack and Gold per Hour. Stats increase whenever the Dragon increases in level. Clan Dragons and Chronos have no stats, while Boss Dragons possess only the first two stats.

All Dragons in the game, in addition to their species name or simply their name, have given names. Only Chronos, Clan Dragons, and Boss Dragons have no given names. These given names are randomly assigned to Dragons upon being hatched, but the Trainer can choose to rename their Dragon through that specific Dragon's Codex Entry and give them another name that is limited to six characters.The randomly-assigned given names are as follows:

The rarity of the Rhino Dragon, the Orca Dragon and the Pinata Dragon was changed from Epic to Legendary while the rarity of the Herald Dragon was changed from Rare to Epic. Their Elements were also changed: those of the Rhino Dragon were changed from to , those of the Orca Dragon were changed from to , those of the Pinata Dragon were changed from to and the Herald Dragon received the Metal Element in addition to its other two Elements.

Update 3.0 made the Heavy Metal Dragon obtainable only through matching Dragon Pieces. Prior to this update, once obtaining and hatching the initial egg, the cost to purchase it as a duplicate was 1,250 Gems.

The breeding time for the first Tribal Dragon obtained through this method was changed from 5 minutes to 12 hours, as are all subsequent Tribal Dragons. There was no change to the hatching time, which remains at 5 minutes.
